Mid-Level Software Quality Assurance Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION Job Title: Mid-Level Software Quality Assurance Engineer Reports to: Chief Technology Officer Location: Hybrid - Remote Experience Level: Mid-Level (5–8 years) Department: Software/IT FLSA: [Exempt][Non-Exempt] Status: Full time We're a small engineering team that ships a lot — Blazor web apps, REST APIs, desktop tools, and integrations across CRM, manufacturing analytics, order management, and engineering software. We need a quality-minded engineer who can be the first and last line of defense before our customers see a release. This is not a button-clicking role. We want someone who thinks like a developer, breaks things on purpose, and turns "it works on my machine" into "it works for everyone." Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities: Own the test strategy across our web, API, and desktop applications. Write and maintain automated test suites — UI, API, and integration — that run in CI on every pull request. Perform exploratory and regression testing on new features before release. Build and curate test data , environments, and fixtures so testing is repeatable. Investigate bugs deeply: reproduce reliably, isolate root causes, and write reports developers actually enjoy reading. Partner with engineering on definition of done — pushing back when "done" isn't actually done. Drive improvements in our release process , test coverage metrics, and bug triage. Help shape a culture where quality is everyone's job — not just yours. Our Tech Stack (What You'll Be Testing): Web: Blazor Server applications, ASP.NET Core APIs Desktop: WPF tools, Revit add-ins, internal utilities Data: MongoDB Atlas, Redis Cloud: AWS (ECS Fargate, S3, CloudWatch) CI/CD: Azure DevOps, Docker Source control: GitHub Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field. 5–8 years of professional QA experience on web and/or enterprise software. Strong experience writing automated tests with at least one modern framework (Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar). Hands-on experience testing REST APIs with tools like Postman, Insomnia, or code-based clients (RestSharp, HttpClient). Comfortable writing NoSQL queries to verify data behind the UI. Day-to-day fluency with Git and GitHub — pulling branches, reviewing diffs, filing well-scoped issues. Proficient with a modern editor or IDE ( Visual Studio Code , JetBrains, or similar) — you can read code, even if you don't write production code daily. Excellent written communication — bug reports, test plans, and release notes that don't need a translator. A relentless attention to detail balanced with a sense of what's worth testing. Preferred Qualifications: Experience testing Blazor , ASP.NET Core, or other C#/.NET applications. Comfort writing tests in C# (xUnit, NUnit, MSTest, bUnit, or Playwright for .NET). Familiarity with AWS environments — pulling logs from CloudWatch, inspecting S3 contents, hitting ECS-hosted services. Experience with MongoDB or other NoSQL databases. Performance and load testing experience (k6, JMeter, NBomber). Mobile or iOS testing experience — particularly Apple Swift apps or hybrid mobile clients. Background in manufacturing, construction, engineering, or B2B software domains. Familiarity with Azure DevOps pipelines , GitHub Actions, or other CI/CD systems. Accessibility (WCAG) and security testing experience. What We Look For: The best QA engineers we've worked with share a few traits: They are curious — they ask "what happens if…" before anyone else does. They are technical — comfortable in a terminal, in a database, and in someone else's codebase. They are diplomatic but firm — they push for quality without making it personal. They automate the boring — and use the time saved to find the weird stuff our customer will hit. They take ownership of release quality without needing to be asked twice. Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience Health, dental, and vision coverage Retirement plan with employer contribution Paid time off and holidays QuickTie is an equal opportunity employer.
